	<itunes:summary>Sunday House Call is a live two-hour evidenced-based medicine and science show that airs at 3 PM Eastern originating from the studios of 580 CFRA radio in Ottawa, Canada. Its stated aim is to provide the opportunity for our guests to discuss their ideas and the basic science that led to their latest research without the need to encapsulate their life\\\'s work into a 30 second soundbite and to provide information to our listeners that is credible, unbiased and backed by evidence, not anecdote.</itunes:summary>

Comment:

There is excellent web site that reviews the scientific evidence for the efficacy of herbal remedies from an independent assessment perspective. It also evaluates the quality and ingredients of many products in stores with respect to labelling accuracy and ingredient composition. The web site is <a href="http://www.consumerlab.com">consumerlab.com</a>.
